Clustered star formation and outflows in AFGL 2591

A. Sanna, M. J. Reid, C. Carrasco-Gonzàlez +4

We report on a detailed study of the water maser kinematics and radio continuum emission toward the most massive and young object in the star-forming region AFGL 2591. Our analysis…

Parallaxes and proper motions of interstellar masers toward the Cygnus X star-forming complex. I. Membership of the Cygnus X region

K. L. J. Rygl, A. Brunthaler, A. Sanna +6

Whether the Cygnus X complex consists of one physically connected region of star formation or of multiple independent regions projected close together on the sky has been debated f…

Trigonometric Parallaxes of Massive Star-Forming Regions. IX. The Outer Arm in the First Quadrant

A. Sanna, M. J. Reid, T. M. Dame +5

We report a trigonometric parallax measurement with the Very Long Baseline Array for the water maser in the distant high-mass star-forming region G75.30+1.32. This source has a hel…

Infall and outflow within 400 AU from a high-mass protostar. 3-D velocity fields from methanol and water masers in AFLG 5142

C. Goddi, L. Moscadelli, A. Sanna

Observational signatures of infalling envelopes and outflowing material in early stages of protostellar evolution, and at small radii from the protostar, are essential to progress…

Unveiling the gas kinematics at 10 AU scales in high-mass star-forming regions (Milliarcsecond structure of 6.7 GHz methanol masers)

Luca Moscadelli, Alberto Sanna, Ciriaco Goddi

This work presents a study of the milliarcsecond structure of the 6.7 GHz methanol masers at high-velocity resolution (0.09 km s^(-1)) in four high-mass star-forming regions: G16.5…

The VLBA Calibrator Search for the BeSSeL Survey

K. Immer, A. Brunthaler, M. J. Reid +9

We present the results of a survey of radio continuum sources near the Galactic plane using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). Our observations are designed to identify compact e…

The Bar and Spiral Structure Legacy (BeSSeL) Survey: Mapping the Milky Way with VLBI Astrometry

Andreas Brunthaler, Mark J. Reid, Karl M. Menten +14

Astrometric Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of maser sources in the Milky Way are used to map the spiral structure of our Galaxy and to determine fundamental…
